I would like to echo what Anita and Janice are saying. The program was very vital to our activities and to being able to draw the international audiences.
We certainly saw a growth in the international audiences, as well as in what Janice is mentioning, which is the ability to really be able to present new and extraordinary works that we wouldn't have been able to without this, and in many cases to actually showcase Canadian artists who have not been showcased in Canada before but have gone abroad to seek their success. This allowed us an opportunity to bring them home and showcase them here to a Canadian audience and an international audience built into our festival. That was a really wonderful and unique aspect of the program.
